The term 'Lofty Work' can be summarized as a poetic composition, usually in the form of an ODE. An ODE is a type of lyrical poem that expresses strong emotion and is often written in praise of a person, place, or thing. It typically has a formal structure and is composed of three parts: the strophe, the antistrophe, and the epode. The strophe and antistrophe are composed of similar lines, while the epode is composed of different lines. Odes have been used throughout history to express admiration, love, and sorrow.
